im retiring my car from street use
do to insane gas prices($8.50 for 100 octane) and lack of use, im retiring my 84 camaro from steet use. the only time you will see that car is at the track. i just pulled my 700r4 out to replace that with a built powerglide with a transbrake. i will still continue to get it inspected in case i get the earge for a short street run. but its mostly gunna be a drag car.

lol i've been in your situation before with my car. forget about 10's if your going to build it into a drag car shoot for 8's. i know that your car could easily be in the 9's with a little work and a small shot. drop the insurance forget about getting it inspected and forget about driving it on the streets if you want to make it a real drag.
